Well only if someone starts making a 54R pistol, which would be nuts IMO

The company has huge problems with delivering . But still I'd flip out of they pulled that shit with me just finishing my psl .
I'm little worried thell do it ....

Who wants to help send them emails sending hate mail warning them not to lol .

I'd be kinda doubtful about the longevity of a pistol using 54r ammo.

Retarded!

It's accurate ammo but still corrosive and you actually have to clean your AK after shooting it.

I have some that I bought dirt cheap and it'll be my last resort ammo if I don't have any other.

Yeah that would have to be one hell of a strong pistol to handle that load and be safe lol. They better not, that's all we need is to have the mosin no longer be a cheap shooting rifle.

So what does this ban really mean to all the people that have 74's? Is there an abundance of this stuff already imported or is this going to cause headaches?

Who would buy a new gun that uses banned ammo?

Obrez...

Thanks Wiki.
Obrez: The sawed-off rifle. During the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war, revolutionaries, various irregular forces and common criminals cut down the Mosin Nagant rifles to pistol size for easy concealment. Most of these rifle-caliber pistols did not have sights, being crudely made. After the Revolution, the numbers of Obrez bolt action pistols decreased as the Bolsheviks took over the imperial arsenals and gained access to stocks of Model 1895 Nagant revolvers. This unofficial Mosin variant is perhaps the rarest Mosin of them all. Obrez pistols are highly prized by collectors.

old school gangsta!
me want!!

You don't have to ban the gun when you can ban the ammo. CT did it with the 7.62X39.

The only thing that is banned is the import of more of the the cheap soviet/Russian ammo. What is in country is ok to buy sell, but no more cheap coming in. That being said there are other companies manufacturing that round for the 74's. Bottom line you will still be able to get ammo but it will cost more $$$~


P.S... so buy it now because once all the imported stuff is gone the prices will rise. Also with it being "steel core" you won't be able to get anything built like this.

Great to shoot or to stock pile.... even maybe an investment? Going to have to check out if Collectable has any left! Last of the good time deals!! LOL
